Rating of the best pumps for wells in 2020

The owners of suburban housing inevitably face two main questions.First, how to provide your house and plot with water supply, because today few people can get by with a simple well. For a comfortable stay in a house, watering a lawn, a garden, a personal plot, you need to carefully consider your own water supply system. As a rule, the natural water pressure is not enough for the uninterrupted operation of an autonomous system. Therefore, a well is made for water intake, a pump is installed in it. It is he who ensures the delivery of clean water. And here comes the second question: how not to be mistaken with his choice. After all, you can buy a pump that will not cope with the necessary task, or you can overpay for unnecessary functions.

Main pump groups

The construction of suburban housing does not always start from scratch. We often purchase pre-existing houses with a specific landscape. Someone already has a well on the site, which can become a full-fledged source of water supply, while someone has to drill a well. Therefore, the choice of a pump often depends on where and how it will be installed.

Given their location, pumps are divided into two main groups:

1. Surface;
2. Submersible.

Best surface well pumps in 2020

They are surface mounted. Contact with water through connecting pipes or flexible hoses. For quality work, they must have a check valve. Such pumps create a lot of noise during operation, so it is better to keep them in a separate room.

Self-priming

It is a fairly simple design, since the body of these systems is far from the water and does not need additional protection. The control of such a pump consists of only two modes - turning on and off the engine. They have very low functionality for creating a home water supply system. They can only be used to fill the storage tank. In addition, they do not have a cooling system for the drive, which often leads to overheating. These units are great for watering the garden and vegetable garden from a well, but are not intended for water supply at home. The biggest advantage is the price.

Home pumping stations and ejector stations

This is a more complex system. With its help, you can organize a full water supply to the cottage. It consists of a self-priming pump and a hydraulic tank, which maintains a certain pressure in the water supply. The pumping station is equipped with devices that monitor the head and pressure levels. If they fail, control mechanisms are activated that normalize these indicators.

They are used for water intake more than 10 meters deep. It is the ejector (external) mechanism that can cope with this task. The principle of its operation is based on another, narrower pipe. Water flows through it faster than through the main one. Due to this, additional thrust is created in the ejector. The pressure in the main pipe rises and the head rises. These units operate with a lot of noise.

Best Submersible Well Pumps in 2020

Submersible devices are installed in the well. The pipe diameter in the well must be 10 mm larger than the pump diameter (this is the minimum value). For operation, the device is immersed in water completely or partially. All models are cylindrical and waterproof, mostly made of stainless steel. Almost all units of this type have built-in filters to protect the membrane from contamination. The necessary elements of a borehole pump include a check valve and an attachment for a fixing cable. Their height ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 meters. They have many advantages: quiet operation, high productivity, water supply from great depths. True, there were also some drawbacks: labor-intensive installation, which requires the work of specialists, the installation of a safe power supply, the need to remove the pump from the well in order to ensure control over its operation.

Vibrating pumps

They have low productivity, but they are quite capable of meeting the needs of a country house. Due to the vibration waves that are generated during operation, the wellbore collapses over time. It is because of this that it is better to install it in wells with concrete rings. The disadvantages include the level of noise they create.

• low-power.

Centrifugal submersible pumps

Most popular pumps. They work at great depths, have high productivity, practically do not create vibrations and work silently. Their principle of operation is based on the rotation of two discs (or impellers), which are alternately connected to each other. They form the impeller. While rotating, it creates pressure, due to which water enters the working chamber. From it, under the action of centrifugal forces, through the outlet openings, water flows under high pressure into the hose. Surface pumps also have such a scheme of work.

Screw pumps

These models are mainly used in production, as they work without problems in very dirty liquids. But there are also household models for lifting clean water from wells. Their principle of operation is based on the rotation of a screw mounted on the rotor in the working chamber. It is set in motion by water entering the chamber through the receiving holes located in it. The higher the rotational speed of the screw, the higher the pump performance will be.

Vortex pumps

Vortex pumps are self-priming. They are surface and submersible, and they pump not only water.
The principle of operation is an impeller (massive steel disc), blades are attached to it. The wheel rotates in a cylindrical body. Water is sucked in through the inlet, which then, under the influence of the vortex flow, moves inside the working chamber and is thrown out of the outlet openings under a large set.

Criterias of choice

In order not to be mistaken with the choice of the pump, the following parameters are taken into account:

1. Power consumption. To eliminate voltage drops in the network, a stabilizer is installed.
2. Maximum head. The value is indicated in the description of the device. Here you need to take into account not only the rise of water from a depth, but also its delivery to all communications in the house.
3. Pump performance. The volume of fluid that is pumped per unit of time. This value is needed to determine the amount of water consumed per person per day.
4. Well water contamination. Conventional pumps are designed for clean water. Therefore, you need to know the approximate level of suspended solids and the size of the filtered particles. Their standard amount is 150 mg / liter.
5. The required value for surface pumps is the suction depth. It is necessary to find out from what depth a certain model raises water.
6. One of the main parameters for borehole pumps is its size. The pump diameter should be 20 mm less than the borehole.
7. Additional equipment. This includes protection systems against dry running, overheating, check valves and built-in filters.

Output

Despite the wide range of prices, it is better to opt for a well-known, familiar brand. High-quality equipment with a long warranty period and service support will last much longer. Choosing a specific model from the best manufacturers listed in the article shouldn't be difficult. The main thing is to take into account all the criteria.
